Filter Tasklist via Java Api - Tasks for currentUser

[hassang]

Hi @NickiMueller,

As per the blog post,

the built-in expression currentUser() which returns the userId of the currently authenticated user (set through IdentityService.setAuthentication())

If JSF application is used then authenticated user can be set as described in below post

Setting process initiator on startevent

Hi @NickiMueller This is the code I meant identityService.setAuthentication(...); Authentication should be handled by your application then passed to camunda using the above call. You can do that using servlet filter where you call the above setAuthentication() method “The filter should be mapped to the URL pattern of your jsf task forms”. That way the current authentication would be available in the current thread where jsf task form is running. https://app.camunda.com/jira/browse/CAM-1117
